Signed Euler characteristic conjecture for Kähler manifolds with nonpositive bisectional curvature
Signed Euler characteristic conjecture for Kähler manifolds with nonpositive bisectional curvature
Let be an -dimensional compact Kähler manifold with nonpositive bisectional curvature, and suppose that its Ricci curvature is quasi-negative. Its signed Euler characteristic is the number , where denotes the top Chern number of .
Signed Euler characteristic conjecture. Under these hypotheses,
The source describes this as a complex analogue of the Hopf conjecture. It records that the claim is known when , and when under the stronger assumption that the Kähler metric has nonpositive Riemannian sectional curvature; the full statement remains unresolved in the source.
